The cast and crew
that make up Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings team come from varying
backgrounds, but all share the same vision of bringing J.R.R. Tolkien's world to the big
screen in a way that honors his memory. The following is a constantly evolving list
containing members of the cast and crew.

In terms of extras, The Lord of the Rings has been the
biggest production outside of Hollywood. There were around 300 members of the principal
cast and over 15,000 extras were used, including members of the New Zealand army. Other
extras were, for the most part, New Zealanders. Areas like Wellington and Auckland saw
incredible swells of tourism during filming of the trilogy.
